That's necessary at the start of the crisis but I don't think it holds for the end of it. New Zealand was laying the groundwork for that yesterday where they'd essentially whitelist countries as being safe to travel to again, and I reckon Australia will do the same.

The US is demonstrating that of all western countries, its society is uniquely unsuited to effectively responding to the crisis. Doubt it will be getting whitelisted any time soon.

i guess this is why I could never be rich. if I had 30 people working for me at a job that paid me $75 million a year I don�t see how any human doesn�t just give all of the people working so hard for you at least a million bucks as a thank you. instead let�s be super generous and pay them out 60% on their starvation wage jobs

you have to be comfortable ignoring suffering constantly, all around you every day to be rich. It helps if you get off on other peoples' suffering. otherwise you'll want to help people and that costs money.

Ellen wouldn't spare a dollar for someone if it would save 100 people, unless she thought it would help her brand and get her good publicity.

Yeah I do social work at a homeless shelter, our capacity is about 160, though we are down to about 115 right now because we moved all the families and extra vulnerable adults out to a hotel. The city is paying for that.

Uhmm, everyone is slowing losing their minds. Everything is shut down, there is nowhere for them to go, there are no bathrooms open, there is nothing.
We usually lock our gate after everyone leaves in the morning but we are leaving it open 23 hours now so that people have someplace to be with water and bathrooms (port a potties). We still lock the building door during the day, but we have warming tents and shelter and 3 meals a day for anyone that needs it.

What I'm seeing is poo poo is hosed up. Like I said, everyone is going crazier day by day and I can't wait until a bunch of them get their $1200 because lmao, loving party time.
CANT. loving. WAIT.

Edit: Our case management is completely hosed since we have like 6 people not even coming to work, we aren't doing proactive work at all. All we are doing is trying to survive.

No where to go nothing to do here. Our homeless people just stay at the day center all day. A staff opens it in the morning and swings by at closing time. No idea what the other guys do at night because I got my guy a hotel room. It's loving nuts to see how quickly society has abandoned these people - a statement that immediately registers in my brain as obvious as hell even as I type it.

Edit: This county's first positive case was a prison guard. Imagine what's going on in there.

More than likely he doesn't know it, and it's pure dumb coincidence that his narcissism, with "the guy in charge" reasoning, lines up well with a complex situation

Because :hmbol:

if you think he has enough brain cells to do that kind of thinking

idk if it still works, but one of my favorite things about this game was that it cost no extra energy to pump sewage uphill, it was a flat electricity cost no matter what height you were pumping the sewage to, but hydroelectric dams gave out power based on the height difference liquids were coming from and going to, so your cities could be self-sustaining on power just by pumping all the sewage into a mountain-top lake and letting it flow into the sea, possibly using multiple poo poo lake reservoirs on the way depending on the geography you had to play with.
